Short summary
A hybrid weighted particle swarm optimization (wPSO) and gravitational search algorithm (GSA) is compared with individual PSO and GSA methods to assess 1-D resistivity models from magnetotelluric data across diverse geological terrains. This involved creating numerous models to match apparent resistivity and phase curves, selecting the best-fit models, and conducting posterior PDF, correlation matrix, and stability analysis to improve the mean model's accuracy with minimized uncertainty.
